he rose to the occasion Facing 23 shots and saving every bleeping one and then just like that make no mistake about it After a shutout playoff Bob Ross key is back my dog Go Celtics shooting 50% from three this series in their win and under 30% from three in their losses. You know what they say, Dano? You live by the three, you die by the three and the Celtics are dying. Yes. Nicks deserve to lose for wearing an alternate jersey at Madison Square Garden.

The Mecca. You don't wear Navy uniforms in your biggest game of the season. What happened to just wearing white at home? Dude, I don't know what the Pacers uniform is anymore. Just wear white. Home Team wears white. Why are we complicating things? No beeps, okay.

Boston Celtics, the rare season that ends along with next season to a tough tough break for old Jason Tatum huh is that what we're doing is that I know it's a tough injury to come back from I know he won't get back till late next season but we're gonna knock two seasons out with that injury they're done yeah they're done unless they trade for Janis no beeps No beeps.

It hasn't started. What if it goes seven games, the home team wins every game? These series never happen? Won't have started then, we'll still be waiting. Nobody. What are you not understanding about this? It's dumb. It's a dumb saying. What do you mean it's dumb? It was authored by that seat.

What do you mean that seat says that's a dumb saying? He did not invent that. I mean, it's dumb. I almost puked in games 3 and 4. And you're telling me that the series hasn't started? Hasn't started yet. This show did actually invent something now, which is the wake the kids up game.

You can't say- It was just OKC versus SIRS in the final. Wake them up! Wake those kids up. Do not put those kids to bed. We do that in my house. Let them watch. We do that in my, we have wake the kids games.

Let the boys watch. Let the boys watch. Let the boys watch. Nobody the boys watch. Let the boys watch. Nobody, and I mean nobody, kills a puck in the corner like the Florida Panthers. That's the truth. Absolutely. I loved it. In game 3, like the ovation

that the crowd gave, with like a minute thirty left. Everybody giving the elbows, like you remember when they did that in game 3. It's so beautiful. Better than porn. No! Billy, wouldn't you agree that it's sort of a pathetic thing to be great at like a proud of like we can keep you In the corner for 90 seconds like nobody's business about feeling the football trap that puck right up against Billy Billy Do I have it wrong when I say that the greatest moment from last season was those last? moment from last season was those last 90 seconds. McDonough on the call?

McDonough? 12 seconds! Oh my god! Better than porn. No it's not. I remember that. No, porn's great. For those who don't.

Porn's great. Nothing is more Florida than chanting USA with only four Americans on your roster. It's crazy. I'm surprised we have four. We have four? Name them, Zaslow. Austin Matthews must have been so mad when the crowd here chanted USA. Who are the four Americans on the roster. I'm surprised we have four. Name them Zaslow. Austin Matthews must've been so mad when the crowd here chanted USA.

Who are the four Americans on the Panthers? Kachuk? I know we got Kachuk. Yeah, that's a one. That's the one. I don't think, is there another one? Wait, is like AJ Greer American? That I don't like.

Seth Jones? Seth Jones. Seth Jones. Yeah, Popeye. Popeye Junior. I get the Rock Jones. Yeah, Hop Ices. Hop Ices. Hop Ices, yeah. I get the Rockies. We're 7 and 33. But you can't fire Bud Black minutes after a win.

Let him have the night. That's a good bounce back. Bud Black, great name for a baseball manager. Also, Bud Black, great name for a weed strain. Smoking that Bud black SEC softball championship was canceled for weather and Oklahoma, Texas A&M were declared Co-champions. Hey SEC if you have two champions you have none The arms race and NIL for softball is insane Nate Schmidt

See American. Yeah, Mackie Samus Gevridge. No, there's no way. He's right about that too. Mackie? Are those are the four? Why do we have four? Noon Connecticut, there's actually five. What?

Yeah, breaking news. Who's the fifth? Drieger? Nate Schmidt, you said. Yeah. Okay, while you do this research, what are you doing? Jacob Megna. I don't know who that is.

His defenseman, he played a few games for us. He's from plantation, Florida. That's not a great weed strain, Jacob. Magna. Indiana Pacers, do it in the finals. Cleveland Cavaliers, do it in the playoffs. Jamal Murray, do it in the regular season. What?

Pause for laughter. Chulas Joe Jackson, Do it with shoes on. Pete Rose. Do it when you're alive. Oh no. What happened? Nico Harrison. Chess, not checkers. Hey Mavericks fans. The ones that booed Nico for trading Luca. You can't cheer for Cooper Flag. Hey Heat fans, the ones that didn't want to get the number one overall pick. 1.8% chance. Doesn't look so bad now.

At least you'll always have the most lopsided series in NBA playoff history. What about the Sasslow game? You got the Super Bowl jam, so that's an important thing. Twice. How does transitive property work with the Pacers? Are they 244 points better than the Miami Heat? At least. Nico Harrison, getting rewarded after screwing up.

Nico Harrison, the StuGots, is strong and new. Nothing is more American than immediately wondering what team's the new pope cheers for. White Sox, by the way. Southside. Dodgers. 500 over their last 10 games, overrated. Shohei Otani, do it from the mound. Top 5 athletes that canote the pope and the conclave. Number 5, Ryan Church. Number 4, Bishop Sankey. Number three, Brian Cardinal. Number two, Kavosi Smoke.

Number one, Mark Pope. Is it? I thought it was Kavosi. Yeah, that's what happens when someone else writes a joke. Minnesota Twins, Getting Hot. Dan, do you know what the P in Michael Porter Jr. stands for? It stands for, pass the ball to Jokic.

He was terrible last night. I mean, what the hell is he doing? Speaking of hell, our brials. Dan, those are the weekend observations. I have a couple of questions for you guys. I believe, you guys might not have caught this, that we have our first historic Zazz Snort laughing at something on the air.

Did you guys hear the... I did, I was like, did he burp? No, it was a little snort. I knew that. He was laughing at the idea of a weed strain being named Bud Black. Let's come up with some names, athlete names, that I think we could do better than Bud Black.

I wanted to ask you guys something else, though, about pathetic things that a champion can be proud of, because the amount of pride that just came through this room at the idea that this group has a hockey team that better than anyone can put a puck in a corner and you can think at the end of game seven last year, is that Connor McDavid wide open right in front of the net? No, he's not because the puck is never going to get there.

And it looks like he's, why would they leave him that open? Because he's not open. Because that's where the puck dies for the remainder of the season. That's where your season dies. You not going to get it out of there explain to me something more bumps explain to me something more pathetic than that but also more wonderful because the the person listening to this who doesn't care about the panthers says to

him or herself i'm not taking pride in something like that they literally worked on that play in training camp, Dan. They practiced that. It's not pathetic. They're a dump and chase team who wins puck battles against the boards. And in the biggest moment in franchise history, they did exactly what they were supposed to do.

Superfection. This is like the hockey equivalent of the Heat. They said that the Ray Allen shot, they practiced that every single day where everyone has to lie down on the ground and then they throw the ball up and Ray has to get up, run to the corner, catch and shoot. Although that's a much more exciting play

than they kept the puck in the corner for 15 seconds. The reason I bring it up to you, I mean, specifically is because wherever it is that people love defensive basketball. I love it. Zazz loves defense in general, okay? But I would say, you know, the New Jersey Devils were once upon a time ruining playoff hockey. Yeah, with a little illegal style of play now. But strangling games to death. And so you guys

taking pride in this is funny, but you and the team is multifaceted. So it's not just doing that, but that is a trait that other teams don't like. Like that two-nothing win for the Panthers in game four, as opposed to the five-four overtime win in game three, that two-nothing win is like, your whisperin' sweet nothin's into my ear. Like, that's my game right there. A lot of people don't pay attention to defense

and just think it's like happening in your own zone, but pay attention to this series because you have four of the best defensive forwards on the planet, Mitch Marner, Austin Matthews, Barkov, and who I hope wins is Selke and Sam Reinhart. Just watch what they do when the puck is in Toronto's zone and how they chase and how they wreak havoc. And look at what Toronto's done in the neutral zone

this series, like if you like defense, this is a delightful thing to watch. And you don't even mention Lundell there. Lundell is up and coming in that conversation. Oh Lister Rynan is probably the most underrated player in the NHL he's probably been Florida's best player throughout these playoffs in terms of consistency. And finally you got Forsling who looks like Gustav Forsling. I mean the defense like I forget who it was on the breakaway but he bottled him up before Bob Ross get to make it easy is dry side all a good weed strain Yeah, no no no Leon dry side. No. No that's no you need something that people can pronounce

What about you what about Nugent Hopkins Nugent smoking on that Nugent is like that's what about a Vander Cane? I got a question about hockey defense. I find this to be very fun. Call it defense. No, I say defense because I come from the hardwood. It's a goaltender goalkeeper. We actually had a defense chant, which is rare at a hockey game,

and they weren't doing defense. How about Charlie Hussle? That is a great drug strain, it's a great weed strain. Do it when you're alive. Attinger. What do you think caused it? Charlie Hussle. Hella Buck. Smoking that Hella Buck. Smoking that shoeless Joe Jackson. They're like, wear my shoes. Oh my god, this is good. Wow.

mind this is loser mentality i was making this no no last year's shirt was world war three yeah our group chat has a good feeling about this one. The lightning aren't shit to me. I'm just gonna come right out and tell you right now. We have surpassed the lightning. They're not a formidable foe. They're a joke. Stugats!

I don't take them seriously at all. Strike me by lightning. I don't care. Nothing's gonna happen to me. Lightning are soft. I'm not giving them any mind. I'm not paying attention to them this series. On to the next round. This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugarts.

When it comes to defense in general, I mean, I do believe it's going to be a little bit confusing to pick people when they crown Shea Gilgis Alexander, if indeed they do that, that we've been talking so much about stars and star players and star players and star players and we undervalue defense so much that we don't pay attention. That team won 68 games, yeah, they can get free throws and they're very good, but defensively they're extraordinary and when that holds up the championship it's unsatisfying

what that couple things number one told you in january that these guys are going to win that side i want to again make it pretty clear i was out on the whole city thing pretty early because maybe you want to take a victory lap that one's all well last night still might not win this series. Sure. The thing I wanted to ask about defense,

I find in basketball it's pretty frustrating to me that we tend to not give the defense credit. Forget about not knowing how to measure it. We don't give it credit, right? So Jokic has bad games with an S in this series and it turns into what's wrong with Jokic, not what is Oklahoma City doing that is making him so uncomfortable.

And that was the question I was gonna ask you guys before you just sang the praises of every single player on the defense, I'm like, all right, get to the point. Like, in hockey, do people praise the defense or do they just say, man, Austin Matthews had a bad night again? Well, Austin Matthews has been playing well defensively in this series, as has Marner, but that's not

what they give them the big-time money for. Austin Matthews can make the same amount of money that he makes right now not giving a flying F about defense because they pay him to score goals and help others score goals which is why the Toronto media is asking where is he? Mitch Marner has zero shots in the last two games. Like I mean this was certainly the narrative Last year where each round Wow the Panthers have bottled up Kuturov Wow the Panthers have bottle up Samantha Jad and wow the Panthers have bottled up dry side. Oh like that was it every sir smoking on as a minute Jad Kind of like that one a

Zaslow snort should we feel honored? I feel like I feel like it's one of the highest honors that you can get Why is it when you're younger if you snort? It's like Embarrassing I snort sometimes when I laugh whatever I feel the same way It's like why do people make fun of you when you cough after taking a pull out that Zaza Petulia? Why the max going back to HBO Max? Is this a Nathan Fielder bit? Is this like going from HBO Max to Max to back to HBO Max? I feel like they just changed the Max logo also

to look more like HBO, now they're changing the name back. It's a Nathan Fielder thing. It has to be. It's a Flanders show. I don't know if my own life is real. I think Nathan Fielder's going to walk out with that laptop on that harness and just kinda like. That looks so cool. No, it doesn't.

Oh, come on, man. What? It does. It looks like this guy's taking care of business. You should get one of those. When's your birthday? Hey, is your birthday like now? Next week.

All right, Dan. Laptop holder for his waste. The, Amin here, like all great art, okay, you will eventually come to moral conundrums that will make you ask yourself questions. The best of art, and that show is a wonder and delight, and I am confused by both the HBO Max, Max Switch, but I'm also confused in this age

when really talented people are having trouble getting things made because there are just a few people making them, and I don't think people totally realize like the threat AI and that writer's strike, like what's happening in Hollywood. The idea that this person is being given this budget to make this thing, I don't know how many more chances

you're gonna see that someone gets the chance to do that because of how ambitious this television show is and because Amin for one has questions about art and the morality of the television show then as people know I'm a guy with a pretty low Tolerance to or a high tolerance excuse me to shenanigans right I don't get uncomfortable. I don't get cringy I hate when the kids lose to cringe not like laugh at it it's funny but this last episode of of the rehearsal i cringed i was like i i there was a point where i literally yelled at my tv nathan no no nathan because like

he's just stacking on and at some point point, I feel like, am I wrong to enjoy this? He's exploiting people. He's exploiting people. This isn't, it's not funny anymore, except it is hilarious, but. I thought the point in the show is that he's helping people. No, that's his other show. That's needed for you.

What, no, no, he's helped, well, the. He is like, ultimately like, aiming to help a lot of people. Yes, like, he's supposed to, this is, the theme for this season is trying to fix air safety, basically. The reason why we have these crashes is because the pilots and the co-pilots have a very tenuous relationship. That is the premise. Now, as he's exploring this and how- I don't like hearing that. Well, no, but it's like he's trying to save it. There's so many like, recreations of air tragedies that'll make you pull your hair out. I mean you're

telling me like next time I'm gonna be on a flight I'm gonna be thinking to myself those two guys who are in control like they're not getting along? It's already changing things. It's worse than they're not getting along. They didn't know each other three minutes before they stepped on the plane. It's crazy and the power dynamic is such that the co-pilot even though he's there to be like a check and balance, you can't check that man over there or that woman over there because if you do,

that might be your ass. So they just go along with things. Why is it your ass? I mean, that might be your ass. Because the pilot has so much power. He basically controls your career. Because things are just different now. You can't say things that you used to

because if you do, you get banned from all these social media dating sites without explanation. Shout out to pilot Jeff but yes so so like that's a real thing apparently I didn't know about it until I start watching this show the problem is him exploring how to fix that and how to enhance that leads him on all these side quests and the side quest keep ratcheting up the uncomfortable like feelings which is fine it was all funny with the paramount plus is kinda

nazi germany they like all that's up with ha ha up until you get to the point where you have actors and he's telling them go as far as you want in this romantic scene and then you bring in their significant others to watch from behind the scenes I Cringed for the first time in my life First time in your life isn't that the whole premise of cheaters like the whole like isn't this isn't this cringe television for profit? Something that is ever you can't this is this is no of course no comparison between I'm not I'm saying the same for a mean to cringe. I mean when Amin says he's got a high tolerance for this Amin

Would like to put comedy above most of our sensibilities. I get very uncomfortable with that kind of stuff Dude, it you'll be I'm going to watch a show like I'm into it, but I get really like so I may have to turn away First season he might have scored a kid for life Yeah, the part where he was raising a kid, someone asked me the other day, you didn't think that was bad? And I said, I mean I did, I just didn't cringe. I was like, aw, come on Nathan,

but I was like, ugh, yes, or this week I was like, ugh, watching that. Zaz, what was the trailer you saw recently that you were talking about of a horror movie that made you, are you skittish about these things? So, we love horror movies in my house. Me, my two boys, we go to the movies. We go to the movies for Marvel movies,

you know, superhero movies, and horror movies. We see all the horror movies in the theater. But this movie in particular, it's called Weapons. Have you seen the trailer for this? Anyone? Weapons, what's your name, Julia Garner? I've seen it on Mute, I know it's got the people talking. Josh Brolin? I've been asked about this trailer. this? Anyone? Weapons? What's your name? Julia Garner? I've seen it on mute. I know it's got the people talking. Josh Brolin? I've been asked about this trailer. Thanos? So the trailer for this movie, Weapons, and the trailer is so creepy. It shows these kids, like they're running out of their homes in the middle of the night in darkness and they're going missing and something is happening. And kids that they're and it's freaking me out every time I see the trailer. I'm really scared of it, but I have to go see it

I have to find out why are the kids running out of these homes, and I'm scared I gotta know I have to know is this a generational thing you said Josh Boland and you said Thanos Yeah, I thought a brand from the Goonies. Josh Bowen's always gonna be Mikey's older brother. I'm just saying the Goonies is old. Oh, I get it, but you see Sean Astin, do you say Goonies? I'd say Rudy. I'd say Rudy. Yeah, Rudy.

But I don't say Lord of the Rings or Encino Man or any other horrible movie. That's right, it's because you're not a virgin. I would like to talk to you guys about the state of the movie industry in general the R-rated movie the the I don't know how many of you are watching Seth Rogen and what he's doing on Apple TV with the studio and I don't know I think it's critically acclaimed It's it's funny and I found that it's getting harder and harder to make some of this stuff funny

It's funny and I found that it's getting harder and harder to make some of this stuff funny. What, you guys weren't dying at the Kool-Aid episode where they're trying to cast Kool-Aid? Yeah, it was great. But like the funny, to me the hilarity is the kernel of truth in it which is these are the types of, it's obviously trumped up for comedic purposes, but these are the types

of dumbass conversations they have. Oh, we can't have that, oh, it's too, we gotta have someone who's this. How do we have representation? And then it's like, you stray so far from making the thing into just trying to answer the disembodied voice of the internet saying, how could you cast such and such and such and such?

It's the same thing with the Snow White. Brad Williams from the show was talking about this because originally it was supposed to be little people playing the dwarves and then Dinklage comes out and says that's so beneath us. And every single dwarf actor in Hollywood is like, it's beneath you, you pompous ass. The rest of us need jobs.

We can't go out and get regular kind of roles or whatever because of the prejudices in Hollywood. So he basically effectively killed at least seven jobs, maybe even more when you talk about stunt people. I want to see on something Dan said about R-rated comedies because I think that like since the 1960s, we've never had such a long stretch of unpopular R-rated comedies. They're just not even making them anymore, let alone like they don't even have an opportunity to succeed or fail at the box office. And I think the natural place that people went

was the societal shift that happened in the teens. Like if you watch Wedding Crashers, if you watch 40 year old Virgin even, there are things and lines in those movies that you can't get this movie made. You can't get a laugh out of that line anymore. Do you like to do it yourself? There's so many things from those, which was probably the early 2000s a golden era of what is considered to be

a golden era of R-rated comedy. And it's a lost art form but now there is one specific movie and one studio in 824 that's trying to bring the R-rated comedy back. Everything they put out is great that studio. It's great to be a tastemaker in that way like if you see the 824 script logo you're're like, okay, I'm in. I'm going to give this a chance. They do awesome horror movies. Well, they're venturing into comedy with an R-rated comedy. I got to co-host a screening yesterday at the University of Miami for this movie, Friendship,

and guys, I'm here to tell you, I think R-rated comedies are back. Dan, just like that. Make no mistake, R all rated comedies are Back so hold on I can he's meeting this he meeting he meets his standard with what he's doing with Paul Rudd because his Standard is now in a tastemaker comedy place where? If he makes it people are curious because he's so odd So one of the EPs of the movie, Alexis Garcia, who's a proud son of Miami, right,

he talked to us before the screening and he said, look, here's the deal. I was a huge fan of I Think You Should Leave. I'm a huge fan of Tim Robinson's comedy, and I said, man, I wanna make something with him in it, but here's the thing, how do you sell it to the studio? And he sold it to the studio as? A low budget Paul Rudd comedy.

So Paul Rudd is kind of like the Trojan horse that gets him in, but it really is, Tim Robinson is the star of the movie. It's an extended sketch of I Think You Should Leave. It's a very, if you like I Think You Should Leave, it is that kind of movie. But it's not like, you know how like in the 90s we had SNL movies that were extensions of SNL sketches

and like maybe 15 minutes in and you're like, okay this never Never should have been longer than a sketch. That's not what this movie is This movie was it was gripping and it makes you kind of reconcile Certain feelings that you have like like in my relationships as a person as an adult Are my friendships really friendships? Am I imposing or other people imposing on me all of these questions Coming to your head in a very Tim Robinson way I Cannot wait to rewatch it because there are so many like little what many people might call it little throwaway lines that aren't designed to get

Huge laughs and maybe people aren't even catching the first time there are so many lines in this movie Which is a staple of an R rated comedy lines that you can go back to and revisit like Anchorman and wedding crashers over and over again I think this movie is certainly capable of that. So, Dan, to answer the question that Mike brought up, is the R-rated movie dead and can this bring it back? What effectively killed the R-rated movie wasn't the sensibilities. It wasn't like, oh, we're just too sensitive as a people now and you can't say these jokes or whatever.

Not saying that you can say these jokes, I'm saying the idea that you can't make an R-rated movie that doesn't feature those jokes joined the one that is a contributing factor it is but it's not number one the number one thing is the ship in hollywood two things that are i p based and then be in this is perhaps

even bigger the shift physical video sales to streaming right because back in a day all these movies yes wedding crashes, Wedding Crashers was a massive success. Yes, Hangover was a massive box office success. But these movies were not made to be box office successes. They wanted to be modest, like make up our costs

in the box office, but the majority of our money was gonna come from DVDs and Blu-rays and VHS and all that stuff. That's how they were making their money on the back end. Take a movie like Half Baked with Dave Chappelle and Neil Brennan, right? Cost them about six, seven million dollars to make. They made about 10 their money on the back end. Take a movie like Half Baked with Dave Chappelle and Neil Brennan, right? Cost them about six, seven million dollars to make. They made about ten or eleven at the box office,

but the video sales afterward tripled, double and tripled and quadrupled, what it cost them to make. Once you take that away, now we're in a, it's kind of what, like with musicians, they used to sell CDs, right, for $12.99 at Sam Goody. Now it's all streaming and you get a fraction of a penny on each stream. It's so much harder to recoup your money

and that's what killed the R-rated movie. Yeah, I mean think about a film we mentioned Ben Stiller a lot today. Zoolander, do you know what its release date was when it came out to the box office? Like the Tuesday before, or the Friday before 9-11? It was the Friday before 9-11 and the box office was just totally dead and

no one went to watch Zoolander in the theaters. It became popular because of DVD rentals and DVD purchases and word of mouth and that is something that just doesn't really happen anymore. Like you'll occasionally have these weird random movies that will crack Netflix's top ten and you'll have an article like say why is this so popular but that is a very rarefied air before it used to be commonplace especially for comedies it used to be where if a movie was good in the theater you would know it because every week more and more people are going and it's making more and more money every single week and now if you didn't make all the money the first week,

you're done. Month and a half later, it's already available soon. Yeah, yeah. I have a couple of questions to ask you guys because Tony is a hustler, Billy is the nemesis of Tony. Tony has a segment coming up here where he went, what happened, Billy? I don't think of Tony.

Okay, but Tony went to Mexico and he's got a segment coming up here and I went, what happened Billy? I don't think of Tony. Okay, but Tony went to Mexico and he's got a segment coming up here and I think he's working against himself because I'm told there's a lot of Spanish in it. Should I be worried about? Also a lot of inner thigh in his promo for it. Okay, so how do you feel about this Billy? About Tony in general or the way he dresses like a clown?

His inner thigh. His inner thigh. Let's close with Mike Fuentes is cameo. Oh So I just noticed that the audio I sent you on that first one Completely horrid. We're gonna do this one.

And that's why I want to tell all of you about Tommy John. Because the first time I put on a pair, I knew my underwear drawer would just simply never be the same. Tommy John just recently sent some of their product to those of us in the shipping container. And this is my first time wearing Tommy John underwear. I was really blown away by the comfort, by the stretch that was available within the design, by the texture. There's a genuine comfort and I can tell that they put in effort to make sure, specifically in our case with men, that we would feel comfortable. Honestly, Tommy John's changed the game for me. I know it's going to be
